So I have an unopened, never used, in-box Zymatic hogging space in one of my closets. I'd thought of finally tying to fire it up and attempt an IPA, but it seems that is the hardest style for the Zymatic, according to this most depressing thread (I thought the point of this machine was to make...

Bump for price drop.

An unused new-in-box PicoBrew with keg. I actually stopped drinking, so I had to give up this hobby. Price now $1100 pickup, no shipping at this time. These retail for $2K new. Greater Los Angeles/Orange County area pickup

I got a Zymatic in January and never used it - didn't have time due to some familial catastrophes, and I actually stopped drinking altogether. The protective tape is still on it. I live in SoCal if anyone wants to make an offer on it.

Well, I finally got my refurb this week after almost two years of following this thread. I wasn't too happy that PB never contacted me with shipment updates, as we entered January, and when I finally contacted them they said, "oh, you never entered your address in your profile, so you weren't in...

But doesn't the IC cool the wort too much to extract flavor/aroma, or are you doing a hop stand first, then chilling? I'm pretty much an IPA guy, and if one can't brew great IPA's with this, it would be a deal-breaker.

Haven't ordered one yet. But everyone should have theirs by now. Where's all the reviews? :confused:

So the PicoBrew store is now claiming "ships in 3-5 days." :confused:

Nice scale on sale at Amazon, $11.97 after coupon. .05 oz increments.

Nice, integrated fermentation is of course the one thing missing from the system. I think I might pull the trigger on the PicoBrew. :cross:

So what's the shipping delay these days (from order to delivery)? :confused: This gadget might actually get me back into brewing.

If anything has muddied the waters, it's all the "experts" on this forum that were hating on a device before it even shipped, let alone something that they had ever seen or used in person. So I welcome people who have actually used PicoBrew posting their opinions, instead of all the "experts"...

Says the person who has been brewing how long? Fix your lame Android sig, then call people Luddites.

Jesus H Christ, the small-mindedness in this thread. :smack: Sorry, but some of us don't have the BTU's, or the time to do it "your way," and for many of us, our favorite beers are almost impossible to get. Who the #$%@!& cares what you tards think about how I brewed my beer if it turns...

The one type of tolerance I have lost with age is my alcohol tolerance, which has dropped considerably. I've always had bad hangovers, but now I get them from a couple of 22's of double IPA. :cross: I've decided I'm going to start brewing lower alcohol IPAs, like in the 5-6% range, so I can...

Ha ha, I was just thinking the exact thing today. I have some of the hottest red sauce imaginable, but now I can drink it like Gatorade on a hot day. Just dropped double the recommended amount of Cascade hop extract into a couple of Stone IPA's last night. Have a little grain with your hops...

This will kill his hop flavor! Cool that wort as quickly as possible or the precious flavor/aroma oils will disappear. Read Jamil's article! Plenty of IBUs even at 15 minutes if you use extra hops. Jeez people, IBUs are not what make a great IPA. To paraphrase Charles Barkley, any knucklehead...

OP is using extract.

Don't listen to the naysayers in here, who have obviously never done this. Late hopping works great and the flavor is better, IMO. Personally, I think you get better balance with 20 minute or less hopping. Don't believe me, believe Jamil. Assuming you’re getting about 30% utilization at...

I hereby resurrect this thread.
